8-22-16 - Heat Escape - Day 11


                                    During our walk this morning, prairie dogs were playful


We finally made it to Gunnison after a six day lay over in Pueblo.  We had a beautiful day with a very scenic ride along Highways 50, 285, and 114. We saw plenty of big horn sheep, a few pronghorns, and a few deer along the way. We traveled  205 miles today. We took the long way around to avoid Monarch Pass.  In other words, we are CHICKEN.

We are set up at Gunnison Lakeside RV Park.  It was in the mid 70's when we got here around 3 pm. After we got set up, we had a shower and the temperatures dropped to the low 50's.   I can see the beautiful Blue Mesa out the side window of the camper as I am typing this blog.  When we got here, Ferny had to come outside.  It has her approval.

We aren't sure how long we will be here, we will just take it day to day.


                                              rode alongside a river most of the way
